Question 5622
Stopping and parking on this road must be done with the vehicle positioned...
- parallel to the edge of the roadway.
- at an angle to the edge of the roadway.
- parallel or at an angle, depending on which makes better use of the space.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: parallel to the edge of the roadway.
As a general rule, you must stop and park with your vehicle parallel to the edge of the roadway. Another arrangement, such as parking at an angle, is allowed when the road's features make it advisable and is usually indicated by pavement markings. In the image, a broken line separates the parking strip beside the curb, and the white truck is parallel to the curb.
